Sportsbook Affiliate Programs for United States Traffic

Strictly geo-fenced to regulated markets — affiliates often must hold state-level gaming licenses to earn; no crypto payouts, no sub-affiliate, and a 60-day fraud-investigation payment hold.

Aggregator holds no licence and NCO/terms are set per destination brand — audit each brand's licence, GEO rules and NCO clause before sending volume.

Two structural constraints and one open question. First, the 35% rev-share is capped at 730 days (2 years) per referred player — treat each referral as a two-year annuity, not a lifetime asset, and keep new traffic flowing. Second, the program is strictly geo-locked to FanDuel's 24+ licensed US states plus Ontario (Alberta pending); traffic from unregulated states earns nothing, and in states like NJ/PA/MI affiliates may themselves need a gaming-commission vendor/service-provider licence to be paid — a real barrier to entry. The open question is negative carryover: public sources conflict (one says balances reset monthly, another says they carry forward), so get the NCO policy — and whether sportsbook/casino NGR is bundled — in writing from your account manager. There's no crypto (PayPal/wire/check only), approval is manual/selective, and creative/responsible-gaming compliance is strictly enforced. The compensating strengths are elite: an NYSE-listed Flutter parent (negligible payment risk), market-leading brand conversion, an unusually long 2-year cookie, and back-to-back SBC Operator-of-the-Year wins. Best for compliant US/Ontario sports and casino publishers.

35% admin fee on Gross Win (10% in Australia) reduces effective RevShare to ~10-15%. Negative carryover uncapped by default (NNCO negotiable). No crypto payouts. Strict compliance: no incentives, no brand PPC bidding, no SMS — breaches close the account and forfeit commissions. Regulated markets only (exited US/Canada).
